Gambling Winnings on 1040 1/12/2026

I am preparing a very early tax return in the 2025 software for a gentlemen who is 73 years old. I am entering in $1,000 of gambling winnings from a W2-G and it is not showing as taxble income on the 1040. Am I missing something or is this an error on this software update?

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the program, same thing!  I am so frustrated and now I have to redo all my letters, billings etc because I did this reinstallation. Grrr!  Thanks for trying to help, I am now at the mercy of someone else at Intuit Tech Support!  I wish there was something else I could do, I am not a novice with this program as I have been a customer since 1995!!!  Never, ever, have I had this kind of problem.


So...after calling tech support again, this time the problem has been resolved.  After entering the W-2G information, then go up to the W-2G summary page, hit that. then go back to Schedule 1 and tax payment worksheet, click on magnifying glass, multiple times cuz it takes you to different worksheets, when done, the income and withholdings finally flow through. Hope this helps other preparers who are entering gambling income.  This will be fixed with the January 26th update, so I was told.

I just added a W2G to my own return, it flowed to Sch 1, just as expected and was included in the total on Lin 8 of the 1040 where it should be.

Lisa, I just check my version 2025.08.11, is that correct? because the W-2G information is STILL not flowing through - any suggestions?

I have the same ProSeries version. The W-2G and W-2G withholding figures are displaying correctly on all the forms and worksheets on my system.

I am having the same problem!  Nor are the withholdings flowing through to the tax payments worksheet.

Guess I will wait for another update, just spent 47 minutes with tech support and they did not give me a solution.

Quick zoom on to the W-2G summary, then the #'s will show up on the appropiate lines and schedules.

Seems that is a workaround. Can you fix form 5695 for me also?

They still haven't corrected this. Just creating more work for us. This should transfer automatically. Tech support has really become a joke.
